Stereotypes happen within school very often, the clubs you are part of "defines you". I am an athlete, so people think that I am dumb, I am in FFA so people think I'm country, I'm the principal's daughter so people think that I won't ever get in trouble or that I know everything. People say that because of my last name I made the JV and Varsity team for basketball. Stereotypes come from movies and how some characters act in those movies seem to portray a whole group of people. When in actuality I play sports and I am tied for second in freshman class rank. I'm in FFA because it is another reason for leadership opportunities, I made JV and Varsity for basketball because I earned it.
In the picture of Chin-kee it is representing the stereotypes of people that are from Asia. This stereotype is important because it is not true about all of them. My first impressions, well I'll admit it I was overwhelmed. The difference between Chin-kee and the main character of the book shows that Chin-kee is representing a stereotype and the main character is what the majority of people from that group act like.
